During the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, many musicians are opting to use their time at home to be creative. That was also the case with Glass Animals’ frontman Dave Bayley, who recently started a new project titled Quarantine Covers. Bayley plans to release a number of covers in upcoming days, and will even take requests by fans.

To start the project, Bayley chose one of his “all-time favorites” and presented the fans with his rendition of Nirvana’s “Heart-Shaped Box.” Compared to the original, Bayley’s cover is slower, with most of the instrument parts swapped for electronic beats. Hear it below.

“I’ve been quarantined in my studio,” Bayley wrote below the video. “So I’m taking requests for covers. Keep sending over ideas, and I’ll try a couple of em. Miss you all stay safe and take care of each other in this strange time.”

Nirvana released “Heart-Shaped Box” back in 1993, with the song serving as the first single for their third studio album In Utero. The track made it to No.1 on US Alternative Songs charts, while breaking into Top 10 in several other countries. The song became one of the most recognizable Nirvana’s works.

Limp Bizkit’s original lineup recently got together for a special gig at Los Angeles’ The Troubadour, with an entry fee of $3. It turned out that those who decided to part way with this amount got much more than their money’s worth. The American rap/rock band decided to treat the audience with a setlist that included their biggest hits, but also performed a number of covers including Nirvana’s hit “Heart-Shaped Box.”

After performing their 2000’s song “My Way,” Limp Bizkit immediately transitioned into the opening part of “Heart-Shaped Box,” causing the fans to scream after they heard the familiar intro. Already heated atmosphere got even better when Marilyn Manson joined in to help out with the chorus. You can hear the cover below.

Besides covering Nirvana, Limp Bizkit delivered their versions of songs from some other bands including Journey, Green Day, Pantera, The Who, and Metallica. You can check out some of the fan footage from the show below.
